Newest NewMoon27 build does not start for me on XP, complaining about missing VCOMP120.DLL. NewMoon28 and Serpent builds from 20240203 are fine.

Another forum site which does not render correctly is www.hörspieltalk.de In the threads, several navigation elements are missing or not displayed correctly. For example: https://www.hörspieltalk.de/forum/thread/16483-asterix-universal-music/ is 11 pages long, and all page navigation elements are missing. Also the empty grey squares on the right are supposed to contain action buttons such as "share" and "react". I also cannot login on the site with my credentials. The error message I always get is "The validity of your request could not be verified, because the XSRF token was invalid. Please submit the form again." The only way to login is using another browser, then copying the cookies.sqlite file into the Mypal profile folder. (The rendering and login problems may be unrelated to each other.)

It should be noted that the overhaul has the neat side-effect that all content is no longer DRM-protected as it was before. (yt-dlp also does not support the new site format yet, but you can already use the network traffic monitor to grab the "master.m3u8" URL and pass that to yt-dlp.) MyPal 68 directly plays all videos fine.

After MyPal 29 development was discontinued, I switched over to Roytam's NewMoon 28, and just recently decided to try out the new MyPal 68. So far I get the feeling that MyPal 68 is faster, produces less memory leaks and also has less rendering or display problems with problematic websites. This may simply be due to the fact that it's based on a new code base and no longer on Pale Moon. Still, it crashes from time to time, though I get BSODs only in multiprocessing mode. In single mode, it's just "normal" crashes, mainly after visiting resource hungry sites. If the cause of the crashes could be tracked down and fixed, MyPal will once again become my browser-of-choice for XP. (Though it's probably not that easy because at least for me they are hardly reproducible.) But what I basically want to say: Great work so far, Feodor2 - and of course it's good to have you back on track!

Two websites which do not work correctly in recent NewMoon28 / Serpent releases: www.mediamarkt.de www.saturn.de (It's actually the same company, so no surprise that both sites are affected.) The last build which displays the sites correctly is 20230311 (though they are not 100% functional there either), the first bad build is 20230318. Build 20230311: Newer builds:
